"Sarah Roemer stands out in 'Fired Up!' I found her to be the only cast member who comes across as a real human being."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

1/5
"promises guilty pleasure, but has the edge of a bowling ball"  Filmcritic.com  Blake French

F
"Man-boys, nubile girls, sporting hijinks, and beloved actor John Michael Higgins in a cameo; one would think with these tools the filmmakers could've invited any reaction from the viewer other than the one they achieve: self-immolation."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

B-
"There isn't anything special here, but "Fired Up!" is still a lot more fun than the adult romantic comedies Hollywood has trotted out so far this year."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

1/5
"S-U-C-K! What does this movie do? It sucks! O-M-F-G! It sucks!"  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

3/4
"An affable throwback to the comedies of the 1980s..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

1.5/4
"It goes without saying that Fired Up! is predictable, but that wouldn't have mattered were there a semblance of reality or charm to the proceedings."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

C+
"The dozen or so laughs I got out of it, while solid indeed, aren't enough to justify a 90-minute movie."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

0/4
"The Maxim revolution kicks off with Fired Up and the fact that even the now Hammond-less skin mag's name is nowhere to be found on the title, should tell you that even they are trying to maintain some dignity."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

C-
"As far as this sort of raunchy campus comedy goes, Fired Up! isn't as bad as you might expect... But of course that doesn't mean it's good."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2/4
"the film's one genuine charm is its ridiculous and clever use of nonsensical words and phrases to discuss R-rated material under the PG-13 umbrella"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"Parental Content Review"  Screen It!  Jim Judy

3.5/5
"Call me crazy, but as a red-blooded American male, I enjoy watching hot girls in skimpy outfits jump around on the movie screen."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"What could have been something hearty and earthy and bouncy and sexy is instead unpleasant like sweaty bedsheets... sweaty with someone else's sweat, that is."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"Plays like a long lost relic of the 1998-2001 teen movie boom."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

B-
"No surprises along the way -- except perhaps how poorly the cheerleading routines are photographed and how much you can get away with in a PG-13 movie."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

1/4
"Fired Up plays like a direct-to-video American Pie sequel."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

1/5
"This is a film so scuzzy and creepy in tone that you keep getting the sense that if there was any possible that it could slip a roofie into your soda while you weren't looking, it would."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

2.5/5
"Broad and very silly, this comedy just about keeps us chuckling even when things get stupid and predictable"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

"Fast forward to the end credits to see the greatest dragon pratfall in cinematic history."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

3/10
"It's an adolescent boy's callow pom-pom fantasy."  SSG Syndicate  Susan Granger

8/10
"Violates the most basic rules of cinematic storytelling grammar; and for this reason it transfixed me."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
